Replying to another's posts, sentence by sentence *IS* a dialogue. If at all, there is a reply in the first place. I guess you're right - reading again, it seems there is some dialogue buried, even in this thread. I've now identified you as CS, and realise that the impression I had was that you are ...

Sure. And of the comments made by the posters on this particular post? What do you really think? And is, or is this not an American forum?

It is, no doubt about it.

What do you think, when you reflect on the behaviour of the posters on this forum?

Lots of love

Consciousness takes form. Form takes consciousness. Beats me which takes precedence. Those are cute maxims Zag. Btw - Zag is also a cute name, having being truncated to one syllable too. Does consciousness take form? Why does consciousness not form taking consciousness? If forming takes consciousne...

Crikey. Can't believe what I'm reading.

I think I've stepped onto an American forum.

You are not beyond loving either - lots of love to you too!

Stopping by to read this post captures what a visitor envisages is not a representation of genius proper. Why the ad hominem attacks on poor Ray? For an outsider, reading the attacks, warranted, or unwarranted, these attacks on his mental state is somewhat galling. If he comes across as arrogant (ou...

Evidence suggests that consciousness is an emergent property of a particular form. And why shall we limit ourselves to what is evident only? If what we can evince is subject to the senses, already the empirical bias is going to blind one's consciousness to knowing what is possible other than what i...

Hi Miffy. Traditionally, genius is defined as extraordinary intellect and creativity; however; the theme here seems to follow a philosophical bent. Definitely, some interesting reading. Thank you Chadwick. Your definition is a helpful start. Perhaps the word "genius" is less of a barrier ...

Welcome to the forum, "Miffy". I have to say from the outset that it's difficult for me to take someone seriously who elects to express themselves from behind the persona of a bunny, but I'll do my best. Hello Mr Drowden. Thank you and your point is noted. I have a similar parallel in not...

Having been raised a Catholic and going through the sacrament of confirmation, I can relate to Nick's post. Confirmation is simply a mindless exoteric ritual for the youth being confirmed, and an equally mindless esoteric rite for the Minister facilitating the receipt of the sacrament. Opinionated t...

Hello Zagreus!

Lovely to meet you! I'm sure you have plenty of things sticking out from other places too - I'm pleased to discover the things sticking out of your head for the meantime!

Lots of love,

Hi there, thank you for your heart-rendered narrative. Not sure what to say, since autobiographical narrative can sometimes be locked in on itself. There are a few points I might add if you don't mind, and I've annotated your narrative to reflect these. Thanks for telling and best wishes. I grew up ...

What is consciousness potentially capable of? Why would we be worth nothing if we didn't have this potentiality? Scott: for a start. You would not even have the ability to phrase your question as you have done. Your question presupposes consciousness. More than the original poster, your question pre...

'The arrogance of genius'

Hi there, as a small and lowly rabbit, not fitting either description of genius nor man, I stumbled upon this forum: "Welcome to Genius Forum, the forum for Dangerous Thinkers." Danger on a quest is obligatory, although the definition of genius within a narrowly conceived male-worldview is...
